        Think S. Mafileo comes into the discussion as well.

          @dan54 All Blacks have been poor, especially since 2020. Ireland are a better team. There is no negativity in that statement, it is what it is. Wouldn't an arrogant NZ supporter believe we will win in June? I just can't believe the articles in NZ surprised that Six Nations is faster and more physical than Super rugby etc, etc. NZ supporters do kind of live in a bubble if they think the ABs are still a world force. They potentially can be of course but.....some deep thinking and changes are needed.

          No you misunderstood what was said, to say ABs lost against France etc because they are poor is arrogant and not giving France Ireland credit, which is arrogant. Sometimes other teams are just better. ABs won RC etc last years, so I guess if a poor team won that you are saying the Wallabies, Pumas and Boks are pretty crap. That is what Crowley is talking about, so called fans that just rubbish own team because they are beaten by a better team is arrogance!
          And of course we can still want the ABs to win against Irish, I want them to beat Boks,etc etc too, but if another team beats them by playing as well as Irish etc have, I will accept it! Irish also beat everyone else apart from France, does that make everyone poor?

                            I said he enters the discussion.
                            If the plan is to have a scrummager first and foremost then he's an option and possibly a better investment for next year than Laulala.

                              So when discussing players there is little expectation or demand for change from what I can see.
                              Does that mean we except who we have?
                              Question to ask then is whether things really are the fault of the coaches or is it the cattle they are working with?
                              Think about it, we often see coaches obviously frustrated that the players aren't doing what they want or aren't executing under pressure.
                              I totally agree that overcoming those aspects is part of coaching but there must also be times where the coaching staff feel they have set the team up for a win only for a dumb penalty or a dropped ball by a player has derailed the mission.

                                @nzzp yeah, apparently learning from mistakes, see 2007, and winning one RWC and leaving the core of a team that won the next one...doesn't mean much

                                      Don't we have a Fozzie thread somewhere?
                                      Can we get this one back to discussing the 2022 ABs?

                                      Yes

                                      All off topic posts will get deleted after this one. It's the same 3-4 posters that want every thread to be about one topic. It crowds out the good conversation

                                        I’m less worried about our starting props then our bench. Karl T was fairly dreadful last year for example. If we select exactly the same props as 2021 then that will be ominous.

                                          He's an import

                                          nooooo

                                          seriously?

                                          an import? In the South Central Vikings?

                                          I for one am shocked. Shocked i tell you

                                          Pah!

                                          If everyone else had produced as many good players as us, we wouldn't need to be having these fearful conversations about France and Ireland.

                                          Frankly, if anyone else had.... 🙂

                                          You're pronouncing imported wrong.
